Weights: The method of calculating the Mass in

Running Order (MRO) and user payload figures has

changed in order to bring it in line with European

Vehicle Directives.

Allowances for essential equipment (e.g. gas

cylinders) previously allowed for in the user payload

are now contained within the MRO. A provision for a

leisure battery which used to be within the essential

equipment payload has now been included within the

personal effects payload allowance.

Although the method of calculation has changed, the

overall effect is that the amount of payload available

to the customer has remained the same, it is just

calculated in a different manner

Bed Sizes : Please note that the front double bed

sizes quoted are for seating configurations without

chest of drawers. The front double bed width for a

layout with a chest of drawers fitted will be reduced

by 0.4m(1'4") from that stated.

Awning sizes: Due to varying awning designs and

sizes the awning sizes given are approximate only.

Specific awning sizes must be confirmed by your

dealer or awning manufacturer prior to purchase.

** The dimensions given are approximate due to

slight variations in suspension ride heights, loading

conditions and tyre pressures.

Customers should verify the actual dimensions of

their touring caravan before committing to anything

that could be impacted by theses dimensions

Please note: Any dealer fit options will reduce the

overall payload available to the user of the caravan.

If you require additional payload it is possible to

upgrade the MTPLM to the upper limit. Pleas contact

your Sprite caravan dealer for more information.
